What is the difference between an easement appurtenant and an easement in gross?
An easement appurtenant is a type of real estate right that is connected to land and passes with the ownership of a property. This type of easement grants someone the right to use another person’s property for a specific purpose, usually for access or utility purposes. In Kansas, an easement appurtenant is related to the land and benefits the owner of the land in some way. An easement in gross is a type of real estate right that is not attached to a particular piece of land. Instead, it gives the recipient the right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, usually for access or utility purposes. In Kansas, an easement in gross is given to a specific person, such as a neighbor or utility company, and does not pass with the ownership of the land, meaning it is not connected to the land.
